FirstBarkDogs who are lucky enough to be educated by Elizabeth develop a respect for the authority of their "parents". As a result of being well managed, they are more loving, thereby promoting a healthy two way respect. A well trained dog is a Happy Dog. I wholeheartedly endorse Elizabeth without reservation!

Before this place opened, the owner, Elizabeth, lived directly across the street from my house, so I often left my child with her personally. She would give my child a bath before coming home, and even did services I didn't ask for. Once, I saw her walking her dog at 2 AM and asked her about it, and she said, "He looked like he needed to go to the bathroom." She was a truly invaluable presence.

The best thing that has ever happened for my dog..and me! Anyone with an anxiety prone animal knows it can be stressful and at times a little overwhelming. Elizabeth was my first call when I brought my dog home and is still is today, 5 years later. Her intuitive understanding and communication of canine behavior continues to amaze me. When my dog is able to come for play at The Institute she hides under the furniture when I come to pick her up because she doesn’t want to leave. Not to mention her staff loves and cares for all the animals as if they were their own. I am truly grateful The Dog Institute exists!

Elizabeth and her team have been truly incredible for our family. We first found out about the dog institute through a chance encounter meeting dachshunds at an event. We had recently said goodbye to our 16 year old dachshund a few months prior. While saying hello to a young dachshund puppy, who was in classes at TDI, we found out they were fostering a 10 week old long haired dachshund puppy! Pretty soon Athena, now Hazel, was ours and we were enrolled in puppy classes. We had our previous dog Wolfgang from age 8-16 so there wasn't much in the way of training, and Hazel had so much energy which was something we weren't used to. Classes and day training with TDI not only gave Hazel a place to have fun and have daily structure, but the classes also helped us become better, more responsible, dog owners. And that became doubly clear when we got a second dachshund, June a year later and restarted the puppy phase all over. We recommend The Dog Institute and they will forever be a second home in our hearts, maybe a first home for Hazel who gets so excited whenever we go anywhere near there.
I really enjoy my time here, Elisabeth is fantastic! She is so patient, kind and helpful! Marlon’s always happy to see her and I cannot be happier that she’s been Marlon’s trainer!
